Control And Method For Positioning A Tool Of A Construction Apparatus

View page
US Patent:
6364028, Apr 2, 2002
Filed:
Nov 22, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/718762
Inventors:
Dirrick J. Ferrell - Kentwood MI
Ross C. Stoepker - Kentwood MI
Timothy E. Steenwyk - Grand Rapids MI
Eric Jon Walstra - Grand Rapids MI
Assignee:
Laser Alignment, Inc. - Grand Rapids MI
International Classification:
A01B 4106
US Classification:
172 1, 172 45, 172781, 172 2, 701 50
Abstract:
A control system for establishing grade and elevation control for a tool of a construction apparatus for maintaining the vertical position of the tool relative to a reference includes a first ultrasonic transducer configured to be carried by the construction apparatus, with the first transducer transmitting and receiving acoustic waves, at least one reflector, a second ultrasonic transducer configured to be carried by the construction apparatus, with the second transducer receiving acoustic waves, and a controller coupled to the first and second ultrasonic transducers which drive the transducers to produce an acoustic wave and monitors the time reflections of the acoustic wave are respectively received by the first and second transducers. The controller determines the local speed of sound based on a first in time reflection received by the second ultrasonic transducer and determines the distance from the construction tool to a reference based on the local speed of sound and a second in time reflection received by both the first and second ultrasonic transducers. The controller produces at least one electrical signal as a function of the distance of the ultrasonic transducers from the reference.

Position Control System For A Construction Implement Such As A Road Grader

View page
US Patent:
53273451, Jul 5, 1994
Filed:
Feb 15, 1991
Appl. No.:
7/656792
Inventors:
Edward G. Nielsen - Grand Rapids MI
Ross C. Stoepker - Kentwood MI
Fred D. Litty - Grand Rapids MI
Assignee:
Laser Alignment, Inc. - Grand Rapids MI
International Classification:
E01C 1900
A01B 6310
US Classification:
36442407
Abstract:
An ultrasonic sensor for a construction implement is disclosed which provides an indication of the position of the sensor relative to a reference surface in two dimensions. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a pair of sensors are positioned a predetermined distance from one another to transmit and receive ultrasonic waves to measure the time it takes the waves to travel to the reference surface and be reflected back to the ultrasonic transducers. Additionally, a transducer is disclosed which detects a side lobe of a acoustic wave transmitted by an acoustic transducer whereby the velocity of said acoustic pulse may be calculated.

Automatic Depth Control For Trencher

View page
US Patent:
55597254, Sep 24, 1996
Filed:
Oct 7, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/319961
Inventors:
Edward G. Nielson - Grands Rapids MI
Timothy S. DeBruine - Grands Rapids MI
Daniel P. Modzeleski - Belmont MI
Ross C. Stoepker - Kentwood MI
Assignee:
Laser Alignment, Inc. - Grand Rapids MI
International Classification:
G05D 104
E02F 502
US Classification:
364550
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for controlling a trencher having a tractor that is propelled along terrain and a trenching implement adjustably mounted to the tractor at a rearward portion thereof with respect to movement of the tractor along the terrain includes monitoring movement of the tractor as it is propelled along terrain in order to survey the contour of the terrain and adjusting the position of the trenching implement with respect to the tractor as a function of the contour of the terrain in the vicinity of the trencher.

Digitally Filtered Laser Receiver

View page
US Patent:
57420696, Apr 21, 1998
Filed:
Mar 20, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/619926
Inventors:
Timothy E. Steenwyk - Grand Rapids MI
Ross C. Stoepker - Kentwood MI
Assignee:
Laser Alignment, Inc. - Grand Rapids MI
International Classification:
G01N 2186
US Classification:
25055929
Abstract:
A digitally filtered laser receiver includes a plurality of radiation sensors spacially arranged in a manner which identifies a relative position of the sensors with respect to a rotating laser radiation source. The digitally filtered laser receiver includes a microcomputer having inputs which are responsive to impingement of the sensors by radiation. The microcomputer is programmed to process data from the inputs only when the radiation sensors are impinged by radiation from the rotating laser radiation source. The microcomputer processes the data and provides an output which is indicative of the position of the rotating laser radiation source and the sensors.
